## Thesis research: recasting the role of the state

There are three fundamental ways for the state to construct and govern markets. These roles change and co-evolve with broader transformations in global capitalism.

- Most recently, a changed global context (climate change, geopolitics, digitalization) has exposed the limits of market-making

- Within widely experienced market failure and a fear to fall behind competitors, demands for a more visible hand of the state pivot economic policies towards market-correcting and market-directing

## The strange bedfellows of OSA

.pull-left[
Not all demands for support are created equally. Significant conflict exists between business, interest groups, and member states; specifically:

- A rift between demand for inward and outward-looking measures

- Neoliberal versus neo-mercantilist and socially oriented actors]

## Eroding belief in market making

.Small[
.pull-left[
How are market-making, correcting, and directing reflected in policy documents, statements, and speeches?

- Corpus of 65.712 documents

- Semi-supervised machine learning approach based on BERTopic transformer models

- Dynamic topic modeling based on natural language processing: modeling *how* industrial policy topics are discussed over time

- Goal: assigning industrial policy related topics to 'market-making', 'correcting', and 'directing'

.pull-right[
1. Scraping English-language documents from Commission site

2. Generating document-embeddings using the all-MiniLM-L12-v2 sentence transformer model

3. Using UMAP and HDBSCAN to identify document clusters

4. Using c-TF-IDF to understand different topics based on cluster-based word distribution

5. Manually identifying topics belonging to industrial policy

6. Developing a coding scheme to train the model with 500 hand-coded documents

7. Training a transformer model based on deberta-v3-base to classify uncoded documents in the sample

## Summary & outlook

.pull-left[
.small[
How do societies, institutions, and actors deal with the contradictions that are forced upon them by economic change?

- Geopolitics, climate change, digitaliztion, and inequality have repoliticized economic governance in a wide variety of fields, both in macro (fiscal & monetary policy) and micro (financial regulation, industrial policy)

- However, attempts to conduct market-correcting and directing policy are based on 30-years of market-making legacy. Can market-based state capacity take on these administrative policy challenges?
